Gosh - that's quite a reaction. It is one of my most favourite shots at the moment. The border effect was done with a little program called 'Lo-Fi', but I don't know if it's available anymore - shame really as it's a funky little prog.

I wish!!! I need every penny as I'm saving for my very first exhibition - and then the bloody electric bill comes in or the car needs taxing!!! I need a lotto win or something. But if we do ever get him in heels I shall credit you with the inspiration

oh thanks that would be cool. if my Maddins were his size you could use them. i know exactly what you mean cause whenever i think i might have the money for something then something comes up or goes wrong and then that is the end of that. great! i am happy for you, you deserve this and i wish you all the luck so tell me how it goes. and keep those pics of our man coming-he's hot!!!

WOW - I am humbled by your kind words. It's taken me a few years to get here, but I don't think it too big-headed to say I have managed to create some nice stuff & look forward to pushing my skills further in the future. Thank you

Yep - typical me; can't leave well enough alone. I can't just take a nice picture of a fine strong back - I have to 'spoil' it by playing with messages. Oh well - I don't mind as this is my favourite image from this recent shoot & I am proud as punch of it.
